Fences Lyrics by Mark Jones & Twenty Paces

0

Verse:
That ol' fence she swings when the west wind blows
She shows her age with every creak and moan
And been weathered by the test of time
But through the storm she holds her own
Verse:
The back gate don't hardly shut no more
The latch is busted the hinges worn
She could use a nail and a board or two
But she keeps me here like a fence should do
Chorus:
Cause I ain't good at mеnding fences
I'm good at burning bridges
What keeps you out is holding mе here
Like the walls I built around my heart
When I threw away the broken part
So the memories in my head would disappear
Verse:
There's a toolbox in the shed outside
Collecting dust as the years go by
And its handle worn by a calloused hand
Mark of pride for a working man
And it's tools to build most anything
Nail by nail or swing by swing
But when anger it burns hot like fire
The coals consume what your love desires
Chorus:
Cause I ain't good at mending fences
I'm good at burning bridges
What keeps you out is holding me here
Like the walls I built around my heart
When I threw away the broken part
So the memories in my head would disappear
Bridge:
So yeah I can burn a bridge with a box of matches
Just sit back and watch what happens
Fix the fence hell I got the tools
Trouble is I won't be played for your fool
Outro:
Cause I ain't good at mending fences
I'm good at burning bridges
What keeps you out is holding me here
